In The Turbulent Twenties and beyond, fit-for-purpose association boards must invest the requisite attention, energy, and time to collaborate at the highest level of shared performance, minimize the detrimental impact of outmoded thinking on their learning, conversation, and decision-making, and demonstrate their genuine solidarity with the human beings for whom they endeavor to shape more beneficial futures. To amplify, deepen, and expand the impact of the first three, it is essential for fit-for-purpose association directors, officers, and boards to develop three more habits of mind:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>\u2022 <\/strong>Integrating interdependent stewardship<\/span><\/b>\u2014By behaving with cynicism, self-interest, and zero-sum thinking, myriad \u201cleaders\u201d worldwide have raised serious questions about the legitimacy of their institutions and inflicted further damage on an already-flawed and deteriorating leadership paradigm. To become fit for purpose, boards must reject leadership orthodoxy and accept the sacred obligations of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/authory.com\/foresightfirst\/Building-a-Better-Future-Through-Stewardship-a67b6bb1184424978831f4e4462dc9720\">stewardship<\/a><\/strong>. They need not meet these obligations alone, however. As a habit of mind, fit-for-purpose boards understand that while they serve as the primary stewards, they must work interdependently with staff partners and other stakeholders to leave their associations better than how they found them.<\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>\u2022 <\/strong>Facilitating future-adaptive governing<\/span><\/b><b>\u2014<\/b>Within the larger context of interdependent stewardship, thinking differently about what it means to govern the association is critical. While the traditional activities of governing, including oversight and policymaking, remain important, the fit-for-purpose board must focus on enabling the essential outcomes of its governing work: coherence through intentional learning, capability through consistent investment, and continuity by building the resilience to navigate the threats created by radical uncertainty, volatility, and risk. As a habit of mind, designing and facilitating an adaptive approach to governing begins with a fundamental shift in fidelity and orientation from the past toward the future.<\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><strong>\u2022 <\/strong>Sustaining inclusive foresight<\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2014<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Building a consistent practice of foresight enriches and strengthens the fit-for-purpose association board\u2019s work of stewardship and governing. A robust anticipatory capability creates invaluable learning to defeat orthodoxy, mitigate risk, and explore creative solutions to the problems facing associations. The work of foresight must include highly diverse voices with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/4sightfir.st\/ICDBoardroomDissentPartII\">equitable access<\/a><\/strong> to express divergent views regarding the association\u2019s favorable, unfavorable, and unthinkable futures. As a habit of mind, inclusive foresight starts with the board\u2019s acceptance of its <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/4sightfir.st\/dutyofforesightnextdefinition\"><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">duty of foresight<\/span><\/b><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and the affirmative choice to stand up for successors\u2019 futures by ensuring they are full and valued contributors to the effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Why Elevating Board Performance is Crucial<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As of this article\u2019s publication date, there are 2,344 days remaining in The Turbulent Twenties, and just 518 days until the midpoint of this decade. <\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To consider the implications of this calendar, I urge you to reflect on the full extent of the disruption and division, the pain and suffering that our associations, our country, and our world have endured over this decade\u2019s first 1300+ days. Now try to imagine the depth, breadth, and pace of this horrid shared experience accelerating and intensifying as we enter the second half of the 2020s. Given what we have been through, and everything we know is on the horizon (not to mention what we do not yet know), it is an alarming future that should be easy to picture. The call to action is crystal clear, and every director, officer, and board in our community must rise to the challenge of elevating performance with equal clarity and determination.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Yet, for some reason, there remains a distressingly high level of resistance to the idea that association boards must become more. Indeed, some suggestions I have seen and heard in recent months imply that we should be open to boards<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> becoming less<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> by altering their purpose and work in ways that weaken performance expectations.
